Smart meter tripping RCD anymore than anecdotal evidence?

Sparkingchip

With have heard reports of smart meters tripping RCDs, is there any more than anecdotal evidence?

    I know it’s Christmas Eve so most people will have a roll of cooking foil handy ready to wrap the turkey in the morning, but I’m not sure a customer will take me too seriously if I suggest using some of the cooking foil to enclose their consumer unit in a Faraday Cage due to its proximity to the Smart Meter, which is the last recommendation on the previous discussion from a several years ago.

    Has any firmer evidence been produced in the intervening years?

    Wrapping it in foil will have the added benefit of 'upgrading' old consumer units to the current requirement for 'non-combustible' ones! Slight smile
